Are you playing or preparing?

Have you prepared for what you’ve been praying for?

No, really. Have you?

Many times, we pray for God to give us without realizing that sometimes, His giving to us means we also have to give … um, how can I type this? It means we, too, have to give up some stuff.

You know, like the ways that won’t fit, the language that won’t mix, the mindset that won’t work, some places and people you’ve outgrown, the bitterness that’s biting folks or the hurt that keeps hurting folk.

So, I’ll ask again. Have you prepared for what you’re praying for? Have you prepared yourself to be a spouse or are you still doing the girlfriend/boyfriend, sneaky link, situationship type of living? How are you praying for a new job and still can’t make it to the one you got on time? Why are you wasting God’s time asking for more money when you’re consistently mishandling what you have? Praying for a business but won’t take the time to get the knowledge?

What are you doing? Is you playing or are praying and preparing for real? 🤔
